INVENTOR 5 George ([295 62'" G Zen I Vazrfier GEORGE UNSER AND GLEN WARNER, OF BUCKLIN. KANSAS.

OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 29, 1312.

Serial No. 706,681.

To all whom, it may concern Be it known that We, GEORGE UNSER and GLEN lVAnNEn, citizens of the United States. residing at Bucklin, 1n the county 0t Ford and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Buru- -ers, of which the following is a specification,

reference being ha-d therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to oil burners and has particularly for its object the production of an efficient oil burner for causing the oil to be thoroughly vaporized, as the same passes through the oil feeding pipes to the burners.

Another object of this invent-ion is the production of a simple and eflicient burner, the burners of which carrya drip pan in such a position as to cause the oil when firstlighted to readily act upon the pipes to cause an eflicient vaporization of the oil.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, as \v1ll be hereinafter fully described] and claimed.

In the drawings :Figure 1 is a perspective view of the burner. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a. section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig, 4 is an enlarged section through one of the valves which control the oil supply through the circulating pipes.

Referring to the drawings it will be seen that a. sup-porting pan 1 is employed, which pan is provided with a pair of apertures 2 for allowing theflame from the drip pan 3 to pass therethrough. A rim or flange a is formed around the edge of the supporting pan 1 as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2-. A pair of angle burner pipes 5 are suspended from the supporting pan 1 and each of these angle pipes is provided with a laterally extending portion (3, which carries at its outer end a sealing plug 7. .The drip pan 3 is suspended from the laterally extending end 6 of the burner pipes 5, and this drip pan is provided with. upwardly extending ends 8. which fit over the laterally extending portion 6 of the burner pipes 5. The angularly extending portions 6 of the burner pipes 5 are perforated so as to allow the oil to be dischraged therefrom. A clamping nut 9 is placed upon the upper end of the pipe for clamping the pipe 5 in engagement with the supporting pan 1.

A feed pipe 10 is arried by the pan 1. and

is of a substantially U-shape provided with a.

rearwardlv extending portion 11 connected to a vertically extending feed pipe 12. A

valve 13 is employed to control the flow of fuel through the pipe 11. The pipe 10 is oii"set intermediate its end as indicated at 14 for allowing the same to extend parallel to the supporting pipe 15. The supporting pipe 15 is provided with a rearwardly extending portion 16 which in turn is connected to a vertically extending feed pipe 17, which pipe is connected at its upper end to the pipe 16, by means of a valve 18. The feed pipe 17 is connected to the feed pipe 12 by means of a transversely extending pipe 19.

Deflector plates or disks '20 are suspended from the pipes 10 and 15 in such a manner as to overhang the apertures 2 formed in the supporting plate 1. These deflector lates carry bands 21 for supporting the denector plates upon the pipes 10 and 15.

As illustrated in Fig. 3, it will be seen that the drip pan is substantially U-shaped in cross section, and by being supported by the vertically extending ends 8, the oil will flow from the pipes O. and be discharged into the drip pan 3. i

From the foregoing description, it. will be seen that when it is desired to light the burner, the oil will be permitted to flow through the pipes and discharged through the apertures formed in the pipes 6 into the drip pan 3. The oil will then be lighted in the drip pan which will cause a thorough vaporization of the oil in the pipes 6. and as the oil is continued to be discharged through the apertures in the laterally extending ends (3 of the pipe; 5, the-flame, of course will shootupwardly through the apertures 9 in the sup porting pan 1. and strike the deflectors 20, which deflectors will cause the flame to spread around so as to engage the pipes 16 and 11 extending on each side of the deflectors 20.

As illustrated in Fig. 4 the valve 18 car- Patented Mar. 11, 1913.

ries near its discharge end a discharge plug liquid, oil, or other fuel to be discharged into the pipes 11 and 16 in a fine spray and also preventthe return of the-heated oil back into the delivery pipes 12 and 17.

Bymeans of the plug 22 it will be seen that the oil will be discharged into the pipes 16 and 1,1 in very fine streams and therefore allow the oil to be readily vaporized.

\Vhat is claimed is Anbil burner of the class described comprising a supporting plate, a plurality of burner pipes carried by said supporting plate, each burner pipe provided with a lat-- erally extending end, a drip pan rovided with upwardly extending ends, said laterally extending ends of said burner pipes passing through said upwardly extending ends of said drip pan, Oil supply pipes positioned above said supporting plate and cominunicat-ing with said burner pipes, said oil supply pipes each bent to form a substantially U-shaped structure,- said supporting plate provided with a plurality of apertures, deflector plates carried by said supplypipes 51nd overhanging said apertures formed in said supporting plate for causing the. blaze from said burner pipes to be spread over said supply pipes, and means for controlling the flow of oil to said burner pipes. In testimony whereof we hereunto afiix our signatures in presence of two Witnesses.
